- the present invention relates to a reciprocating compressor, and more particularly, to a reciprocating compressor capable of reducing a usage amount of an expensive magnet, enhancing an output of a driving motor, and simplifying components.
- a reciprocating compressor is a device for sucking refrigerant gas and compressing the refrigerant gas as a piston is linearly-reciprocated in a cylinder.
- the reciprocating compressor is largely divided into two by a driving mechanism. One is for converting a rotary motion of a motor into a linear reciprocation and then transmitting the converted linear reciprocation to a piston, and another is for directly transmitting a linear reciprocation of a motor to a piston.
- FIG. 1 shows one example of a reciprocating compressor in which a linear reciprocation of a motor is directly transmitted to a piston.
- the reciprocating compressor comprises: a casing 10 to which a gas suction pipe 1 and a gas discharge pipe 2 are coupled; a front frame 20 and a middle frame 30 elastically supported in the casing 10 with a certain interval; a driving motor 40 mounted between the front frame 20 and the middle frame 30 , for generating a driving force; a cylinder 50 inserted into the front frame 20 ; a piston 60 linearly-reciprocated in the cylinder 50 by receiving a driving force of the driving motor 40 ; a rear frame 70 covering the piston 60 ; a resonance spring 80 for inducing a resonance by elastically supporting the piston 60 ; and a valve assembly 90 for opening and closing a gas flow path so that gas can be sucked into the cylinder 50 and compressed as the piston 60 is linearly-reciprocated.
- the driving motor 40 includes: an outer stator 41 mounted between the front frame 20 and the middle frame 30 ; an inner stator 42 inserted into the outer stator 41 with a certain interval thereby to be mounted at the front frame 20 ; a winding coil 43 coupled to the outer stator 41 ; and a mover 44 linear-movably inserted between the outer stator 41 and the inner stator 42 .

- the inner stator 42 is formed as a cylindrical shape having a certain length, and a sectional surface of one side thereof has a square shape.
- the outer stator 41 and the inner stator 42 are formed as a plurality of lamination sheets having a certain shape are stacked.
- a length L 1 of the magnet in an axial direction is the sum of a length L 2 of the opening groove 41 a of the outer stator and a length L 3 of one pole portion.
- both ends of the magnet 46 are respectively positioned at the middle part of the pole portion 41 b.

- An unexplained reference numeral 21 denotes a coupling bolt, and 22 to denotes a nut.
- the suction valve 94 and the discharge valve 92 constituting the valve assembly 90 open and close the gas flow path thereby to suck gas into the cylinder 50 , compress the gas, and discharge the gas. While the above processes are repeated, sucked gas is continuously compressed.
- the magnets 46 are positioned at the air gap between the outer stator 41 and the inner stator 42 under a state of being mounted on the holder 45 .
- the holder 45 for fixing the magnets 46 is required thus to have complicated components and to increase a fabrication cost of the holder 45 .
- the air gap between the outer stator 41 and the inner stator 42 becomes relatively large thereby to generate a motor loss.

That is, not only a flux generated from the magnet 440 is concentrated on the pole portions 432 of the magnet mounting inner stator, but also a flux generated by the current flowing on the winding coil 410 is concentrated on the pole portions 432 of the magnet mounting inner stator and the pole portions 423 of the outer stator, thereby generating a great driving force. According to this, the length of the magnet 440 can become shorter than that of the conventional magnet, thereby reducing a usage amount of the magnet 440 .
- the magnet 440 cheap ferrite having a low magnetic flux density can be used.
- the conventional holder 45 for mounting the magnet 46 is not required thereby to reduce the number of components. Since the holder 45 is positioned between the inner stator 42 and the outer stator 41 and the magnet 440 is coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the holder 45 , the structure is complicated and the fabrication is very difficult. If the holder 45 is not used, the fabrication cost is greatly reduced.
- an output of the driving motor is enhanced and thereby a compression efficiency for compressing gas by receiving the driving force is enhanced. Also, as the output of the driving motor is enhanced, a usage amount of the magnet is relatively decreased and thereby the fabrication cost can be reduced.

As shown, the reciprocating compressor comprises: acasing 10 to which a gas suction pipe 1 and agas discharge pipe 2 are coupled; afront frame 20 and amiddle frame 30 elastically supported in thecasing 10 with a certain interval; adriving motor 40 mounted between thefront frame 20 and themiddle frame 30, for generating a driving force; acylinder 50 inserted into thefront frame 20; apiston 60 linearly-reciprocated in thecylinder 50 by receiving a driving force of thedriving motor 40; arear frame 70 covering thepiston 60; aresonance spring 80 for inducing a resonance by elastically supporting thepiston 60; and avalve assembly 90 for opening and closing a gas flow path so that gas can be sucked into thecylinder 50 and compressed as thepiston 60 is linearly-reciprocated. - The
driving motor 40 includes: anouter stator 41 mounted between thefront frame 20 and themiddle frame 30; aninner stator 42 inserted into theouter stator 41 with a certain interval thereby to be mounted at thefront frame 20; awinding coil 43 coupled to theouter stator 41; and amover 44 linear-movably inserted between theouter stator 41 and theinner stator 42. - The
mover 44 is composed of acylindrical holder 45, and a plurality ofmagnets 46 coupled to theholder 45. Theholder 45 is connected to thepiston 60. - The
outer stator 41 is formed as a cylindrical shape having a certain length, and anopening groove 41 a at which thewinding coil 43 is positioned is formed at an inner circumferential surface of theouter stator 41. Apole portion 41 b is formed at both sides of theopening groove 41 a. - The
inner stator 42 is formed as a cylindrical shape having a certain length, and a sectional surface of one side thereof has a square shape. - The
outer stator 41 and theinner stator 42 are formed as a plurality of lamination sheets having a certain shape are stacked. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , a length L1 of the magnet in an axial direction is the sum of a length L2 of theopening groove 41 a of the outer stator and a length L3 of one pole portion. Under a state that themagnet 46 is coupled to theholder 45, both ends of themagnet 46 are respectively positioned at the middle part of thepole portion 41 b. - The
valve assembly 90 is composed of: adischarge cover 91 coupled to thefront frame 20, for covering one side of thecylinder 50; adischarge valve 92 positioned in thedischarge cover 91, for opening/closing one side of thecylinder 50; avalve spring 93 positioned in thedischarge cover 91, for elastically supporting thedischarge valve 92; and asuction valve 94 coupled to an end portion of thepiston 60, for opening and closing aninner flow path 61 penetratingly formed in thepiston 60. - An
unexplained reference numeral 21 denotes a coupling bolt, and 22 to denotes a nut. - An operation of the reciprocating compressor will be explained as follows.
- First, when power is supplied to the
driving motor 40, a current flows on thewinding coil 42 of thedriving motor 40. By the current, a flux is formed at theouter stator 41 and theinner stator 42. By an interaction between the generated flux and a flux formed by themagnet 46 of themover 44, themover 44 is linearly-reciprocated and thereby thepiston 60 connected to themover 44 is linearly-reciprocated in thecylinder 50. - As the
piston 60 is linearly reciprocated in thecylinder 50, a pressure difference is generated in thecylinder 50. By the pressure difference inside thecylinder 50, thesuction valve 94 and thedischarge valve 92 constituting thevalve assembly 90 open and close the gas flow path thereby to suck gas into thecylinder 50, compress the gas, and discharge the gas. While the above processes are repeated, sucked gas is continuously compressed. - In order to enhance a price competitiveness of a compressor, components and fabrication processes have to be simplified. Also, in order to minimize a consumption power, an output of a driving motor has to be maximized.
- However, in the conventional reciprocating compressor, the
magnets 46 are positioned at the air gap between theouter stator 41 and theinner stator 42 under a state of being mounted on theholder 45. According to this, theholder 45 for fixing themagnets 46 is required thus to have complicated components and to increase a fabrication cost of theholder 45. Also, since theholder 45 is used, the air gap between theouter stator 41 and theinner stator 42 becomes relatively large thereby to generate a motor loss. - Also, since both ends of the
magnet 46 are respectively positioned at the middle part of thepole portion 41 b of the outer stator, the length L1 of themagnet 46 becomes relatively long and thereby a usage amount of themagnets 46 mounted at theholder 45 is excessively increased. As themagnet 46 is very expensive, the entire fabrication cost is increased. - Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a reciprocating compressor capable of reducing a usage amount of an expensive magnet and capable of enhancing an output of a driving motor.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a reciprocating compressor capable of simplifying components.
- To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided a reciprocating compressor comprising: a front frame positioned in a casing; a middle frame positioned in the casing with a certain interval from the front frame; an outer stator having a winding coil and coupled between the front frame and the middle frame; a cylinder coupled to the front frame; a magnet mounting inner stator having a protruded pole portion at both ends thereof and linear-movably inserted into the outer stator; a magnet mounted at an outer circumferential surface of the magnet mounting inner stator; a piston inserted into the cylinder; a connection unit for connecting the piston and the magnet mounting inner stator; a resonance spring unit for resonating the piston and the magnet mounting inner stator; and a valve assembly for opening and closing a gas flow path so that gas can be sucked into the cylinder and compressed as the piston is linearly-reciprocated.

discharge cover 810 is connected to thegas discharge pipe 120 coupled to thecasing 100 by an additional loop pipe. - Hereinafter, effects of the reciprocating compressor according to the present invention will be explained as follows.
- First, when power is supplied to the driving
motor 40, a current flows on the windingcoil 410 of the drivingmotor 40. By the current, a flux is formed at theouter stator 420 and the magnet mountinginner stator 430. By an interaction between the generated flux and a flux formed at thepole portion 432 of the magnet mounting inner stator, the magnet mountinginner stator 430 at which themagnet 440 is mounted is linearly-reciprocated. - The above process will be explained in more detail as follows.
- As shown in
FIG. 7 , when N and S poles of themagnet 440 are magnetized, a flux is generated by themagnet 440 and thereby the N pole is respectively formed at thepole portion 432 of the magnet mounting inner stator. When a direction of the current flowing on the windingcoil 410 is alternately changed, N and S poles are alternately formed at thepole portion 432 of the magnet mounting inner stator. At this time, if the N pole is formed at theleft pole portion 423 of the outer stator and the S pole is formed at theright pole portion 423 of the outer stator, an attractive force is applied between theright pole portion 432 of the magnet mountinginner stator 430 and theright pole portion 423 of the outer stator, and a repulsive force is applied between theleft pole portion 432 of the magnet mountinginner stator 430 and theleft pole portion 423 of the outer stator. According to this, the magnet mountinginner stator 430 is moved towards the left direction. - On the contrary, if the S pole is formed at the
left pole portion 423 of the outer stator and the N pole is formed at theright pole portion 423 of the outer stator, the magnet mountinginner stator 430 is moved towards the right direction. - As the magnet mounting
inner stator 430 is linearly reciprocated, thepiston 600 coupled to the magnet: mountinginner stator 430 is linearly reciprocated in thecylinder 500. - As the
piston 600 is linearly reciprocated in thecylinder 500, a pressure difference is generated in thecylinder 500. By the pressure difference inside thecylinder 500, thesuction valve 840 and thedischarge valve 820 constituting thevalve assembly 800 open and close the gas flow path thereby to suck gas into thecylinder 500, compress the gas, and discharge the gas. While the above processes are repeated, sucked gas is continuously-compressed. - The magnet mounting
inner stator 430 and thepiston 600 continuously maintain a resonant motion by theresonance spring unit 700. - Gas is sucked into the
cylinder 500 through thegas suction pipe 110 and the gassuction guiding pipe 130, and gas is discharged from thecylinder 500. Then, the gas is discharged to outside of thecasing 100 through thedischarge cover 810 and thegas discharge pipe 120. Since a suction of gas is guided by the gassuction guiding pipe 130, sucked gas is prevented from being heated by heating gas inside thecasing 100. - In the present invention, a reciprocating driving force is generated by a flux concentratingly formed at the
pole portions 432 protruded at the magnet mountinginner stator 430 and by a flux concentratingly formed at thepole portions 423 of the outer stator, and thereby the reciprocating driving force is great. That is, not only a flux generated from themagnet 440 is concentrated on thepole portions 432 of the magnet mounting inner stator, but also a flux generated by the current flowing on the windingcoil 410 is concentrated on thepole portions 432 of the magnet mounting inner stator and thepole portions 423 of the outer stator, thereby generating a great driving force. According to this, the length of themagnet 440 can become shorter than that of the conventional magnet, thereby reducing a usage amount of themagnet 440. - As the
magnet 440, cheap ferrite having a low magnetic flux density can be used. - Since the
magnet 440 is coupled to the magnet mountinginner stator 430 and the magnet mountinginner stator 430 is directly reciprocated, an air gap between theouter stator 420 and the magnet mountinginner stator 430 is minimized. Also, since the magnet mountinginner stator 430 is directly moved, a moving mass is relatively great thereby to stabilize the system much more. - Also, since the
magnet 440 is directly coupled to the magnet mountinginner stator 430, theconventional holder 45 for mounting themagnet 46 is not required thereby to reduce the number of components. Since theholder 45 is positioned between theinner stator 42 and theouter stator 41 and themagnet 440 is coupled to the outer circumferential surface of theholder 45, the structure is complicated and the fabrication is very difficult. If theholder 45 is not used, the fabrication cost is greatly reduced. - As aforementioned, in the reciprocating compressor according to the present invention, an output of the driving motor is enhanced and thereby a compression efficiency for compressing gas by receiving the driving force is enhanced. Also, as the output of the driving motor is enhanced, a usage amount of the magnet is relatively decreased and thereby the fabrication cost can be reduced.
- Additionally, since the number of components is reduced, a processing cost is reduced and the number of assembly processes is reduced. According to this, the fabrication cost is much more reduced and the assembly productivity is enhanced.
- As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the metes and bounds of the claims, or equivalence of such metes and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
